Boil and mash the potatoes soft with a little milk; beat up light with melted butter, a dessert-spoon* ful for every half pint of the potato; salt and pepper to taste; fill some patty pans or buttered scallop shells with the mixture, and brown in an oven. Stamp a pattern on the top of each; glaze while hot with butter, and serve in the shells. To Mattf. AprLE-S>*ow. ? Take one dozen appl8s, boil them o^r a slow fire until they are soft, then remove the skins and cores; beat the apples well with a wooden spoon until they become frothy ; strain through a sieve; then beat the whites of twelve eggs until you can turn the dish upside down and not spill out; add half a pouud of sifted refined sugar; mix it witli the apples, then beat all to gether mi til it looks like snow; place it on a cake-dish, build it up as higli . s possible, place spouge-cake or lady-fingers around the sides like "charlotte russe." Extra Nice Jelly.?Always use the best white sugar, either granulated or powdered; great care should be taken in weighing or measuring; also observe the time closely. To make peach jelly, use one-third of the kernels with the peaches, which should be pared, stoned and sliced; place the peaches and the kernels in a jar ; place this jar in a pot of boiling water; stir from time to time until the fruit is all broken, then straiu tlirough a stout, coarse bag, and to every pint of peach-juice add the juice of one lemon, then measure again, allowing one pound of sugar to a pint of juice; heat the sugar very hot by placing it on pans in the oven, stirring occasionally so that it may not bum; when the juice has boiled just twenty minutes, add the sugar, let it come to a boil, and take it instantly from the fire ; have your jelly-glasses rolled in hot water, and then fill them with the scaldiugjliquid; when cold and firm, put tissue paper on the top of the jelly, paste a thick jjaper over the glass; keep in a dry place. Fritit Cake.?Three cunfuls snerar. one cupfnl molasses, one and one-half cupfuls sour cream, one and one-half cupfuls butter, six eggs, one and onehalf teaspoonfnls soda, three pounds raisins, one pound citron, two pounds currants, one teaspoonful cinnamon, one teaspoonful cloves, one teaspoonful spice, one whole nutmeg, one bottle lemon extract, flour enough to make a spoon stand straight up. Bake in a deep baking pan four hours. When cool, put in a stone jar and keep two or ,three weeks before cutting. BnddloK Fruit-Tree*. There are two well-establishedmethods now in very genera! use among experts in fruit-culture, for changing or muliplying varieties of the same class on the same tree, and both of these are simple and inexpensive. The first of these is known as grafting, and is only practiced on larger trees, and always in the spring before the foliage is developed. The other method, which is much more rapid, and quite as sure when properly done, is budding, and the time for doing this extends from the middle of July until the first of September. Whenever the bark separates easily from the wood, the buds may be set, with fair chances of snccess. The outfit for budding*consists of some narrow strips of bass matting, such as comes on the inside of coffee bags, and a pocket knife with a single blade, with a small piece of ivory fastened in the end of the handle. When the incision is made the ivory is iised to raise the bark up on either side, so tint the bud may be pressed into place. The i i_ i.? l-_ L~/I i.i uuub tu ue insert eu ouuuiu uc tut num young, healthy trees, and always of the present year's growth, those that are most matured being selected. Tlie leaves may then be clipped off the branch of buds, leaving say half an inch of the leaf stalk attached to the bud. Then with a keen-edged knife cut off each bud separately from a half to threequarters of an inch in length, leaving a thin slice of wood back of the eye or bud. These should be kej)t moist and protected from the sun or air ixntil Get; exposure even for a short time may prove fatal. When the whole top or any part of it is to be budded over, select the spot for each bud in a smooth part of the branch, not too large, say from one to two inchrs in diameter. On this part make an incision through the bark in the form of the capital letter T, and raise or separate the b:irk from the wood with the ivory on the handle of the knife. The bnd may then be pressed into place, cutting off square the portion that goes above the <?roaa incision. Then with a striD of the bass matting wrap firmly around the branch above and below the eye, fastening the end of the strip by a slip knot. This completes the operation, which can be successfully done even by a novice in less time than it takes to describe it.? P. T. Quinn, in Scribncr. The Value of Hen Manure. If all the droppings from the roosts by hens be carefully saved in ban-els, and every spring and fall this manure be composted with auy good soil or muck from swamps, and so kept a fe v months, its value for any crop is equal to Peruvian guano, and it may, I think, be estimated at fifty cents per fowl per annum. From fifty hens I saved about ten barrels of the pure hen guano during the year. What I save from November to April I compost in the spring with soil. First I spread in a circle soil to the depth of three or four inches. Then I spread hen manure about an inch deep ; then I spread another layer of soil, and then a layer of manure, till the heap is completed, using about four times the bulk of soil that I do of manure, the last layer being'soil. The.top of this compost heap I make flit^ to catch the rains; then I cover it with any refuse hay or straw, then place some sticks of wood or boards against the covering to keep it in it* place, aud in two or three months it is ready to use, having become thoroughly incorporated with the soil; but, as the season for planting is then past mostly, I leave the heap till the next spring, when I use it with what I c.impost in November. Perhaps it would be belter to make a compost in March, where the climate will admit, aud use the manure for crops planted the last of May or early in June; bu'; I can discover no loss by keeping it till the next season. A gill of this -compost in a hill of corn will be equal in effect to a half-shovelful of stable dung. (Jotting the Best of Him. The New Bedford (Mass.) Mercury relates that, not long since a gentleman traveling by rail from a neighboring city to Boston, purchased a glass of soda at n refreshment stand in a wav station and gave the attendant a quarter. The latter apparently purposely delayed making change, and his customer was obliged to hnrry on board the train with a feeling of having been cheated, and consequently "out" fifteen cents. At the next stopping place he rushed to the window of the telegraph office and dictated a message to be sent to the soda water man, and paid for by the recipient. It was as follows : "Do yon sell foam at twenty-five cents a glass ?" At every station where there was n chauce he repeated this message. Upon reaching Boston, having thus revenged himself five tiroes, he glided out of the depot and set off about his business, with a quiet smile of satisfaction irradiating his placid features that was refreshing to look upon. As for the soda -water man that night after shutting up lie drew up a little balance sheet on the fty leaf of his diary as follows : " Expenses of telegraphy, 81.25 ; extra profit on aoda, fifteen cents ; out, 81.10." Patrons of thiB eatablialimont won't have to wait no long for their ohnngo after this m they did, An Ounce and a Ten Weight, An ounce weight and a ton weight of iron will fall down a pit with equsl speed and in equal time. Until about 300 years ago, all the learued men in the world dis| believed and denied it. Galileo, an Italian, taught the contrary to the popular belief. The Univesity of Pisa challenged him to the proof. The leading I tower of that city was just the place for such an experiment. Two balls were obtained and weighed, and one was found to bo exactly double the weight of the other. Both were taken to the top. All PiBa looked on, and crowds of dignitaries were confident that young Gr.lileo, then obscure and despised, but honored and immortalized now, would be proved to be in error. The two balls were dropped at the same instant. Old theory, and all the i world, said that the large ball, being i twice as heavy as the less, must come down in half the time. All eyes watched, and, lo ! all eyes beheld them strike the earth at'the same instant. Men then disbelieved their eyes, and repeated the experiment many times, but each with the same result. The little ball was big euough to destroy a theory 2,000 years old; and had it been little as a pea, it would have destroyed it just as well, or even more quickly. But how was this ? Did not the earth draw down the large ball, which was double the weight of the smaller, with j double the force ? Did not the double weight indicate the double force ? Yes, truly; but in drawing dowu the large ball there was a double force of resistance to be overcome, and as the two forces acted in a given proportion on the large ball, and in the same proportion on the less, the velocity of the two was equal, I though in bulk they were unequal. I Let us suppose that there be two wagons, I one with a load of five tons, and the other {ten tons, and that the unequal loads are I drawn by an equal norse-power?snoum not tlieir speed be equal, though their weights are unequal ? No. There must be double horse-power to draw the double weight, to obtain equal speed. Let a ten-pound weight and a one-pound weight fall to the earth at the same time, ' and the earth must draw down the heavier J weight with ten times greater force than I the other that they may have equal : speed, and it does so. A ton weight of iron and an ounce weight, leaving the top of a pit at the same instant, would, therefore, at the same instant fall to the bottom. Read This, Young Ladles.

It had not existed six mouths, however, J when, by an unfortunate investment, he I lost his entire " heap." This event came 1 upon him, it should be added, just as he wus about to claim his bride. What does ! lie do ? Why, like an honorable and chivalrous young fellow as ho is, he sits I down and writes the young lady eveiy I particular of the unhappy turn which has taken place in his fortunes, assuring j her that if the fact produced any change i in her feelings toward him, she is released | from every promise she has made him. j And what does the dear, good girl ? Why, she takes a lump of pure gold which her | lover had sent her in his prosperity as a keepsake, and having it manufactured j into a ring forwards it to him with the I following Bible inscription engraved in j distinct characters on the outside: " Enj treat me not to leave thee, or to return ; from following after thee; for whither ; thou goest will I go, and whither thou ! lodgest will I lodge; thy people will be j my people and thy Goil my God; where j thou diest will I die, and there will I be i buried; the Lord do so to me, and more j also, if aught but death part me and | thee."

No inhabitants of a yard seem possessed of such a variety of expression and so copious a language as common poultry.

The tumult is not confined to the family concerned, but catches j from yard to yard and spreads to every : homestead within hearing till at last the ; whole village is in an uproar.

A French journal prints a curious and interesting letter from Jenny Lincl, the Swedish nightingale, now fifty-six years of age, written by her at Dresden, where she now lives, to a friend in Paris : " I want to speak to you of my baby. ttr 11 -r a. 1.11 il. _ x 1 wen, i must ten you wiih uruu nuo given my dear husband and myself an adorable little girl, bprn on the thirtyfirst of March last. She is the perfect image of health and happiness. She laughs and crows in a way to delight all sympathetic hearts. We have given her a little Katharine among her other names, but we call her Jenny, I need not say in honor of whom. Our boy Walter will be four years old the ninth of August next. He is an intelligent child ?very intelligent?very religious, and when he has been naughty it is touching to see the way he prays God to make him good again?poor little chicken. He adores me, obeys me, and I understand the child completely, for he is exactly like myself in nature?very impressionable, active, gay, high-tempered, affectionate, shy, good-natured, quick to learn, remembering all that he learns, preferring to the finest toys a horrible old doll, because it is oue with which he has longest played, caring nothing about dress, but preferring to be loved rather than admired. Is he musical? Not the least in the world. That is my great despair. But he is religious, and I think he will be a Christian. As to the baby I cannot say as much. The little creature eats, drinks, laughs, mumbles over her shoes, and I have nothing to say against her ! character. My husband is now in England looking out for a residence, for we intend, on account of the children, to settle in that country. "Yours affectionately, "Jennx Lind." Jew sharps Carious jeivsliarpB are made by the Japanese and Fijians. Those of the former are twelve inches long, made of wood, and have a reed tongue, which is vibrated by the finger, and the sound is given by the force of the breath and modulated by the lips and cavity of the mouth. These instruments are also used in Burmali. The Fijian jewsharp is of bamboo; the tongue is made by leaving a vjbratable slip when carving a longitudinal opening in the bamboo strip. It is about a foot long. The Kafirs and the Tahitiaus have taken a great fancy to the jewsharp of the white man, and it is rapidly superseding the instruments of native manufacture. The goura of the South African bushman is a sort of complicated jewsharp, in which a quill is distended by the string of a bow, and is breathed upon by the player. A gut string is attached at one end to one extremity of the bow, and 4-1* nn /\Tro1_o1?ftno/l iuc uuucx iu au kj * ai-ou?|juu |/tvw of bustard quill, which is lashed to the other extremity of the bow. The quill is of an attenuated oval shape, and its quality, as well as the tension of the string, determines its musical tone. The performer holds the bow nearly horizontally, steadying himself by placing his elbows on his knees, his right forefinger into his right ear and the forefinger of his left hand into his left nostril. He is then ready for duty. He breathes upon the quill, eliciting tones both in expiration and inspiration. The instrument is the most ingeniqp to be found in South Africa and is a great favorite with the people, though mouotonous and weak in tone. The string adds resonance to the tones, which are like those of a jewsharp, though inferior to the latter. It seems that no regular tune is attempted, but the variations of tone follow each other much as when a person unskilled in the jewsharp elicits sounds of varying pitch by changing the position of his lips and i the strength of his breathing. When the instrument is used by a woman she holds it differently ; grasping the midI die and holding the instrument perpendicularly she blows upon the quill and taps the string with a small stick. When the woman plays it is called a joum-joum. A Benevolent Mocking Bird. We find the following in the Eagle, of Beading, Pa.: Some time ngo two robins mated and bixilt a nest in one of the trees in Colonel Borbon's yard, South Fourth street. The fierce little sparrows interfered and the nest was destroyed. The spariows then departed. The robins then built another nest, and in due course of time a brood of little young robins appeared. Hanging under a tree near by is a cuge containing a mocking bird. Several days ag<^ Col. Borbon passed through the yard and noticed the robins fly up against the mocking bird's cage, and the birds make a queer squeaking noise, creating the1 impression that they were fighting. Colonel Borbon at last thought bo, but when he endeavored tar chase the robins away from the cage the women folks of the house said they were t jt fighting, but, on the contrary, the mocking bird was feeding the robius, so that they would have plenty for their little brood in the neat. The matter was, then inquired into, and it was found just as the women folks had, Represented. The robins fly nn jiiid lmnir tn tin?Tviros of the mockiner bird's cage; tho bird inside hands ont all the dainty food provided for him, consisting of crackers, grasshoppers, pieces of hard-boiled eggs and other food. The robins receive it in their months and fly to their nest. When the robins come to the cage the mocking bird makes a singular and unusual squawking noise, and then proceeds to share his food, unmindful of what his own needs may be. The three big birds and those in the nest are a happy family of domestic good-will, and their performances are extremely interesting and ; novel. ! Why 01(1 Feople Remember Tilings. The extraordinary persistence of early impressions, when the mind seems alj most to have ceased to register new ones, i is in remarkable accordance with the law of nutrition. It is a physiological | fact that decline essentially consists in i the diminution of the formative activity ! of the organism. Now it is when the brain is growing that a definite direction ! oan be most strongly and persistently | given to its structure. Thus the habits l of thought come to l>e formed, and those i nerve tracks laid down which (as the i physiologist believes) constitute the I mechanism of association, by the time the brain has reached its maturity ; and the nutrition of tho organ continues to keep up-the same mechanism in accordance with the demands of its activity so long as it is being called into use. i T, 0,v _ j ; j.i._ ?i;? runner, uuruig me cumu jrenuu ui vigorous manhood, the brain, like muscles, may be taking on soma additional growth, either as a whole or in special parts, new tissue being developed and kept up by the nutritive process, in accordance with the modes of action to which the organ is trained. And in this manner a store of "impressions" or traces is rccnmulated which may be brought within the sphere of consciousness whenever tho right suggesting strings are touched. But as the nutritive activity dimishes, the "waste" becomes more active than the renovation ; and it would seem that while (to use a commercial analogy) the "old-established horses *' keep their ground, these later firms whose basis is less secure are the first to crumble away?the nutritive activity, which yet suffices to maintain the original structure not being capable of keeping tl?o subsequent additions to it in working order. This earlier dogeneration of later formed structures is ft general fact perfectly familiar tn the physiologist. SUMMARY OP NEWS. latere*tin* Item* from Home and Abroi The fifth day of the great railroad war pasi and the blockade of trams continued, while < business interests of the country were s partially paralyzed. In those sections whi the strike first resulted in scenes of bloodsh and violence?in Maryland, Pennsylvania a New York?matters had taken a quieter li and the West had in turn became the grou of riotous demonstrations. In Chicago a m of about 8,000 persons congregated in the vicin of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy rou house with the evident intention of making attack on the railroad property. A detachm< of twenty policemen was sent to the scene, a tne otncers, on arriving mere, iuuuu tuo selves surrounded by a dense mob, who i sailed them on every side with bricks a stones. The police made a charge and beg to force their way out using their clubs w desperate vigor and without stint. When t police reached the outer edge of the cro* tXee of the rioters had been killed and a nu ber wounded, while several of the officers w( also badly injured. Another detachment 400 officers was sent to the scene of riot a the disturbance was quelled and property sav< Several other large mobs passed through d forent parts of the city during the day, co pelling the workmen of the establishments tb passed to cease work, and occasional collisic occurred between the police and the rioters, which the latter were generally dispersed. New York a meeting, called by a society "Internationalists" or social reformers, * bold in the evening in Tompkins Square, sil ated in the heart of the crowded portion of t city. About 10,000 people were gathered and about the Square, and several hundi policemen were near at hand to prevont a disturbance. The meeting was quiet and ordi ly, although at its close a crowd marching procession through a side street were charg dv the police ana scattered, one man?a look on?being clubbed by several officers and bret ing a leg in his efforts to escape. At Lou ville, Ky., an unsuccessful attempt was ma to burn a railroad office. All business th< was suspended and 700 militiamen were duty, ready for an emergency. In Tolec Ohio, the strikers glosed all manufactories a broke up a meeting of citizens presided over the mayor. In St. Louis and Kansas city, M the strikers were still master of the situati and all railroad traffic was retarded.

A short time af this riot another occurred in front of Turi Hall, where a meeting was taking place. 1 crowd filled the hall and packed tho sidewal! in front, and finally became so demongtrat and boisterous that a large number of pol were sent to disperse them, which they si cecdod in doing only after a pitch battle, ma of the rioters seeking safety by jumping fr< the windows. Just before noon another cro of 5,000 assembled near the North Side rolli mills. They were led by a band of butche with apronB on, sleeves rolled up and knr and steels protrading from their pockets. T throng marched to the rolling mills, gas woi and other oHtablishmonts, with flying bann and transparencies and compelled employers sign an agreement to pay their workmen sMpulated price. The mob met one small sqt of sixteen police, who dared not oppose t immense crowd. At eleven o'clock at nigh mob attacked soldiers stationed in the vicin ?f Sixteenth and Halstead streets. The m tary at length replied with two volleys a killed and wounded a number of the riotc About twelve persons were killed during I day and a large number wounded. Seve hundred rioters were also arrested. In ? Francisco the citizens had formed themsel into committees of safety and protection person and property. A gang of " hoodlum assailed citizens and firemen who were attem ing to extinguish an incendiary lire at 4 Pacific Mail steamship dock, and a.desper fight ensued. The rioters were eventua routed. One of the citizens was killed am large number %t persons on both sides w wounded, some fatally. In other parts of 1 country the strike seemed to have reached highest point.

A letter from St. Pe tersburg lias the folith lowing: The Russian minstrels also take a be prominent part in these " gulanies," bnt rd, only a stationary one. One or more m' troops of them are always engaged for such occasions, and delight the motley nd crowd from temporary stages erected on id. the grounds. These stages are simple? if- mere semi-circular covered platforms m- fl* r\* fniir foof flio orrnnnrl o nrl open in froDt. No dressing closets or in greenroom are required. The Russian In minstrel does not blacken his face or don . of resplendent broadcloth and impossible shirt collars and fronts. He dresses in he the traditional national costume?a short in black velvet coat, -without sleeves, dised playing the -wide shirt sleeves of colored ny silk or calico, and wide trousers stuffed e? into top-boots ; their head covering is e<j somewhat in the shape of a lady's jockey er- hat, with a huge bright buckle on one ik- side. The performers mingle -with the *8" audience until called by their leader; then they mount the stage and form a 'on semi-circle, with their leader in the lo, center. All stand erect ; we see no nd gorgeous chairs, no orchestra. At a sign from the "middle man" the singing begins. The charm of vocal muBic performed by trained Russian singers has 108 often been acknowledged by different he travelers. There is both harmony and >n- melody in their peculiar tunes, and the voices are simply excellent. The con 3bej viction is soon forced upon the listener m. that instrumental accompaniment to such ico singing would be superfluous if not positively injurious to the effect. The pieces generally consist of solos and m_ choruses, and the selections invariably Dg begin with songs of a sentimental or Bering ous character, gradually changing to the sm comic and burlesque. To the latter class dances are also added, taking the place ejj. of, but not in any way resembling, our ral "walk arounds" and "breakdowns." :h. This part of the performance is initiated srs with a lively tune by the chorus, beginning with measured strains and^gradually ier increasing the rapidity of measure, ac'he companied by clapping of hands and ks. stamping of feet. ive Suddenly a dancer emerges from be^ hind the circle of singers, dressed as ,ny they are, but generally with some adam ditional trimming of gold lace. His wd arms are akimbo and he glides with steps in curved lines from one side of the stage to the other. At someparhis ticularly lively notes of the oborus he rki breaks out into a few fantastic Bteps and er8 then again resumes his peculiar skim1 ming motion. But the measure grows [ad more rapid, the voices louder and the :he olapping and stamping more energetic, t & until the dance comes to a climax, and ?jy the friakv youth breaks out in a series of nd steP8 an^ Bkips and jumps, in time with !ra the sinking, entirely bewildering and - - ? ?* 1 #-1 ?> i the " leanui ana wonuenui w ueuuiu. ral The excitement and frenzy are shared by !an chorus and audience, jwlio utter yells and shouts of encouragement and delight; l8 ? the legs and arms of the dancer are in a ?V continual whirl. Now upright, now in o a half-sitting posture, uow stooping forward and now., leaning backward, he j ? keeps on until utter exhaustion compels Bre him to retire behind the chorus with the the same peculiar skimming motion with its which lie had made his appearance, and *4? disappears amid thunders of applause of the delighted audience. The same performance is repeated at various times re_ during the afternoon, and is always wit1 a nessed with the same intense interest ted and enjoyment. the ___ _ ko. ral A Clerical Joke. ra.H A clergyman, a widower, recently A woatii/1 nnifa n HWisnHnn l'n Ilia hoilRfl ere hold, which consisted of seven grown-np iad daughters. The reverend gentleman r?- was absent from home for a number of ^_e days, visiting in an adjoining connty. ^ a The daughters received a letter from t?d their father which stated that he had er, " married a widow with six sprightly children," and that hr might be expected home at a certain time. The effect of that I^e news was a great shock to the happy famtes ily. The girls, noted for their meekness md and amiable temperaments, seemed au(ere other set of beings; there were weeping and wailing and tearing of hair, and all ifo manner of naughty things said. The er? tidy home was neglected, and when the in- day of arrival came, the house was anyie? thing but inviting. At lust the Eev. ^ Mr. X came, but he was alone. He the greeted his daughters as usual, and, as nor he viewed the neglected apartments, f?r there was a merry twinkle in his eye. , to The daughters were nervous and evi.. dently anxious. At last the eldest musthe tered courage and asked: "Where is era our mother ?" 1 as "In heaven," said the good man. ar>' "But where is the widow with six ck" children whom you wrote you had married ?'
